Our pre-Halloween storm

It's been snowing for about 40 hours and it has really piled up. Fran and I cleared the driveway yesterday before dinner. Today when we cleaned it again the average depth was 5"; where it had drifted it was 13" deep. The snow is letting up now, but the wind is increasing. Blizzard conditions are predicted for the plains east of us. The snow here should be over by dinnertime. The forecasters are predicting a warming trend with Saturday in the 50s. It looks like it will be a good Halloween. And now, some pictures.
